Glad you stayed up for the event. A lot of good songs in this collection. Worth returning to create your own concert. Binge watching B movies? Oh boy – any beers to accompany the venture? Saturday mornings when I have musical posts are always hectic with me. Sorry I missed this one. … I see the Dolphins seem to be leaning to a Belichek assistant. For me, that’s surprising given the lack the overall lack of success in Belichek’s coaching tree and the experience available.

Great stuff Frank, your pick was my second choice, and I see Dale carried on with the best ex-Beatle – so here I am still with George – and ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ https://youtu.be/gxI_KfBdUa4 We could have had our own Concert for George 🙂

Cheese and biscuits!! I posted and went to bed and get up to find my George song has been blasted off the page by the producer………….. That man has no soul!! Id check to see if ‘Yellow Submarine’ has been posted – it’s the only song Ringo seems to know whoever he is playing with, but of course they let him do that one when he was a Beatle so no dice again…. I might come back after I’ve had first coffee …… or maybe three 🙂

Glad you didn’t post Ringo doing Yellow Submarine because The Producer would have closed the door again. By the way, The Producer told me to make sure I remind you to capitalize T and P. Because he’s persnickety, he demanded I give you another Ringo song … It Don’t Come Easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvEexTomE1I

‘Photograph’? ‘Photograph’? how does that compare with George’s guitar? I am ashamed to admit I knew he was still a Beatle when that song was released but had completely forgotten in the joy of the moment of finding it on YouTube – it seems I’d also forgotten I had listened to it in last week’s musical..Doh!! There appears to be no hope for me. I shall now shuffle quietly off stage left and imbibe several coffees………

OMG, Pauline! Frank is out to torture you completely! Three Ringo songs he gives you!! I dunno… next week, hopefully, you should be safe… none the members did anything on their own (or if they did, I am completely ignorant of this because I am not a follower or because none of them were worth mentioning…)

Yahooey,
Well done transitioning to another ex-Beatle. Still amazing the Fab Four get together – and to think of their individual careers to … wow! A lot of joy in that video and song. Interesting how Lennon worked personal movies & photos into his videos. Great choice!

Feeling quite chuffed that I got here with that before anyone else, because honestly I would have had to choose Wonderful Christmas Time otherwise!
What a gorgeous song this is though, don’t you think. Timeless. And in my teaching days I led a small choir singing this along with other world peace type songs (Heal the World, We Are The World and Give peace a chance…Wait is that also Lennon??? Anyway…)
This song always gets me teary.
So beautiful.
Have a great day! ♡♡♡

Fiery,
I’ve been waiting for Imagine to appear, so thanks for coming through. Another example have Lennon uses his movies in his videos to expand on the meaning! Thanks for the tidbit of your personal experience leading a choir. How old your the members?

Since I am always accused of only writing about love and nothing else (what else is there to write about?). Here I have the perfect opporunity to respond to all. The Lonely Author submits this little ditty for your review.
Paul McCartney & Wings. “Silly Love Songs.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh15LOppcWQ

Drew,
In the words of Dale, a fun way to start my Saturday morning. After all, I’m seeing my first measurable snow of the year – so I doubt I will see any golfers at the course this afternoon. 😉 Loved the video and the reminder of Linda’s role in Paul’s life.

Good choices, all. Probably all the ones I would have chosen first, but there’s this. I didn’t really know the full name “Happy Xmas (War is Over)”. John Lennon with Yoko Ono and the Harlem Community Chorus. It’s really an antiwar song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8Vfp48laS8

Absolutely … great pointer about CTRL-F … Maybe an Apple user can provide the equivalent. I also recall one time when a “conflict” occurred because of almost simultaneous entries – which meant I had to overrule The Producer.

Trent,
Congratulations on avoiding The Producer’s wrath. Scroll up to Pauline to see what happens – then I have to come in to soften the blow. Love the movie and the song … good choice … and I remember seeing it at a drive-in

That was my first choice! Lennon is my fave, but when I saw this live performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeQ7huY9mEEof Live and let Die, I thought it would be great to have actual concert footage at AFA’s Concert.
If you haven’t seen it, watch it! It is a spectacular stage show.
To The Producer: I was allowed to post this comment, right?

Lennon was always my favorite as well, but there is no denying McCartney is a great musician and composer. That seems like quite a show, with all of the explosions and fireworks. Yeah, a bit more of a stage show than when the Fab Four first came on the scene 😉

The whole live performance reality has changed with internet.
Prior to internet, live performance tickets were quite affordable. Point is, the acts were not out to make money from live performances. It was to excite the fans, and inspire them to go out and buy your new album. The money was in album sales. Now, with $1.00 a tune, pirating, sharing etc. a band needs millions and millions of sales. So the reality is reversed. The tunes make people want to come and see you perform. Now, the money is in live performance.

Last night I watched the movie “Eight Days a Week”, a documentary about the Beatles’ touring days. I think it was Paul who said that they had the worst record deal in history and didn’t make any money from record sales. Almost all of there early income came from live shows. I think later, and surely with Apple Corp/Apple records (their Apple, not the tech company), they started to make money from their records. It’s kind of funny that it has come full circle. I think the last big name concert I saw was David Bowie’s last tour in 2004…

John Lennon being my favorite of all the Beatles is my selection with
John Lennon – Love https://youtu.be/h0m3f6O2cPs/ – Who doesn’t want to hear about LOVE.
Off to hear some great tunes … Happy weekend everyone
Isadora 😎

OOOpppsss … forgot Mr. Producer aFrank – My Sweet Lord was a favorite song of mine.
Great to sing along with but good free style dance tune too. It was the period when I started to explore other modes of spirituality. Glad you selected it …
Isadora 😎

The group didn’t think she should be around him so much.
I think he didn’t want to be a Beattle anymore. Could I add
God – John Lennon (Original Video) https://youtu.be/mI5NmhfqQGk/
without getting a buzzer. It talks about his transition. For sure, gone too soon.
I can’t even imagine (no pun intended) where he would have gone with his music.
He was great. Glad you liked my selection … : )

😁 Her voice always seemed more like screeching to me…the kind that makes small animals run away. Clearly she appealed in John in some way proving once again, there’s somebody for everybody out there. Mostly. 😆

👍 LOL you crack me up with your descriptions of her singing. I wonder if she did those sounds on purpose for attention. It wasn’t going to get her a record contract. LOL Yes, there is always someone for everyone. 😎

Good Saturday morning, peeps. Getting back to the odd Beatle (but one who I rather loved), George. In his third solo album by the English artist, “All Things Must Pass” which was released nearly 50 years ago, I offer for this weekend’s concert, “Isn’t it A Pity.” https://youtu.be/eDrLTW_sesI

Monika,
Although Harrison, his song fits well into the string of Lennon songs. Wonderful selection – and yes – I’m seeing the first measurable snow of the year – but we won’t be close to the amount you get.

Surprisingly the accumulation was not much, maybe 4″ for yesterday’s storm. It was very wet and slushy and since the temps will be going back up in the upper 40’s, low 50’s by Monday will be gone in no time.

Always enjoyed George, the ‘quiet’ Beatle compared to the attention getters, John & Paul. A remarkable group of talent, the whole lot and a great musical memory of the 60-70’s before disco and heavy metal arrived. Have a great weekend.

I love the feel of it, just hate driving in it. Err rather I hate others driving in it. Coloradans know how to drive in snow and ice, flatlanders (of which there are way too many these days) not so much. I miss my old state…before the hordes arrived with their humongous SUVs and self-entitlement attitudes. *Sigh*

Tell me about it. Once, when driving down to Florida, my sister and BIL were driving through a snowstorm in Vermont. They stopped for some reason and another driver says: Hey! We’ll follow him, he’s from Quebec, he knows how to drive in this stuff!

I only had one album and while I did enjoy them (what young girl in the late 60’s didn’t), Norwegian Woods was a favorite and pretty much everything off the Abbey Road album. Was not a big fan of Revolver or St. Pepper.

Well, she was a performance artist, and she didn’t make a name for herself because she is ordinary. Also, it’s hard to stand out beside John Lennon.
OR, perhaps blind knitting was all the rage back then? I thought hey, maybe she’s doing a blind stitch? Of course I know better. There is no blind stitch in knitting, only sewing.

Yes, Frank. I ate lots of pie, drank lots of wine, and watched a band jam downstairs until wee hours. All in all, more fun than one guy aught to be allowed to have in one night!
Note to The Producer: I had to answer this in a new comment box, as there was no reply prompt under the question.

I held out for as long as I could. I didn’t see the No No Song by Ringo Starr. It doesn’t mean it is not here and if so I missed it. I tried the Control F suggestion of Dale and it didn’t work. Maybe the MAC is different. https://youtu.be/eCSjKXEy65g I have my ears covered and eyes shut as I hit “Post Comment.”.

You’re good, John! I vaguely remember that there was another button for MACs (maybe the “fn” one? Anyway, neither here nor there as no one has used that particular song… of course you would choose Ringo 😉

How about “We All Stand Together,” written and performed by Paul. It’s also called “The Frog Chorus.” Since ex-Beatles so often played instruments to support their friends as they went solo, I eliminated a lot of songs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PMiP90ntZ8 Beware, it’ll get into your head and you’ll be croaking like a bullfrog!

Okay, I didn’t see this one(unless I missed it), but I’m chiming in with Back In the USSR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ArlUSVDQIw
This is pure genius here. Not only for the parody of Chuck Berry, but for the time frame in which this was released in 1968. Imagine if this were released today?

David!
Oh how I enjoy when one of my Pioneers from my early days surprises me with a visit. Glad you enjoyed my Eastern Europe vacation posts. A few more to come. Meanwhile, I see you’ve met Dale – the official maître d of my musical events here. All going well with you?

Oh yeah, definitely enjoy the Eastern European posts. I’ve now been to nine European countries myself in the last couple of years, so obviously those posts peak my interest. In fact, I was invited to a wedding by friends in Glasgow last summer, so I decided to go to that and five other cities I hadn’t seen before. I still write, but it’s been mostly in magazines the last two years. The main one being History Magazine by the Moorshead Group out of Canada. I actually have one out in the current issue.

Yep, met Dale and threw a couple of comments at her site, too.

I started a new travel site a couple of weeks and I’m still tweaking it. I finally got one on WordPress. Lol.

You may find it helpful to visit those who visit you. Good number of travel bloggers on WP – so I’m sure you’ll find them. BTW – In my sidebar – Categories > Travel .> British Isles cruise is how I got close to Glasgow.

That’s certainly good to know about travel bloggers on WP being plentiful. I’m going to start my guides and reviews with international cities I’ve seen. Then work my way to the ones here. Eventually, I’ll get into sports venues since I’ve seen many here and a few in Europe. In fact, my Gravatar pic is me at Panathenaic Stadium in Athens — the site of the very first modern Olympics. I definitely have plenty to write about. And maybe one day get into some travel magazines. Plus, still fix things up with the site, too.

Oh cool. I’ll be looking at that British Isles entry now. I look forward to the other travel entries from Eastern Europe and beyond, too!

I’m not sure why my Gravatar didn’t show up on my comment back to you on my site. I’ll look into that one. I still got much to learn about WP. LOL.
And yep, you know a sports twist was coming in. But being I’ve been to a lot of sports venues, it’ll help stand out more.

With over 250 comments on this post, everyone obviously had a great time. The simple thought causes a good smile. It’s obvious that everyone can’t get enough Ringo, so here’s one that Lennon wrote but Ringo recorded … I’m The Greatest … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiFr6tTkSDQ

Tim,
Besides knowing that my availability is limited this week and trying to take advantage of the situation, this attempt is so poor, Huggy Bear would have just shook and head and walked away. As it is my custom to help out the songless, I will seek to redeem your lack of effort with a Ringo song – Only You. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLjaS_EMM-g
